More precisely, getAttribute just returns the value of the attribute (as 
required by the DOM specification), which is not the same thing as the 
.cssText of the corresponding CSSStyleDeclaration.

CSS2.1 does not define the return value of getAttribute().  The DOM 
specification does that.

I think you're reading it incorrectly.  ;)
